#1 If all he has found is true, then he should report it to the FBI.

#2 I think it's a little overwrought. Look - I don't agree with the guy's politics. And he's a liar. A smooth liar. But I don't think he's a terrorist. Most Muslims aren't terrorists. They may agree with the terrorists, and would fund them if it were legal. But they're not going to run any risks for jihad that would jeopardize their comfortable lives. I understand there are a number of Muslims who would give up their lives for jihad. But that is a very small number, totaling perhaps in the tens of thousands. And perhaps only a handful of them are in America. They might agree with the idea of jihad. They might even sympathize with the enemy. But ultimately, the good life is too much to sacrifice for jihad.

#3 "He closed by telling Kirkland, you can be sure that there are million of muslim activists as well that will do something about your foul statements."

That sounds like a threat to me.

#4 I think it's a little overwrought.

Maybe. But it's still worth looking into. Much has been found on less.

#5 Most Muslims aren't terrorists. They may agree with the terrorists, and would fund them if it were legal.

Then that makes them terrorists in my book. Agreeing with, helping to fund, sympathizing with etc. etc. puts one squarely in the terrorists camp. Doesn't matter if they themselves actively engage in jihadism. These people would jump right in, in a heartbeat if the jihadis ever gained the upper hand. And you can be sure they wouldn't lift a finger to save you or your family.

How can you carry their water like that?

#7 Most people who work for NASA are not astronauts.

True. But, they support the astronauts in their activities. What is/was you point?

#11 I think Gromgoru was trying to agree with you Chuck.

Maybe. If he was it is too subtle for me, I didn't catch it.

#12 Most web sites have an ftp account and storage space. Nice way to pass stuff around without going thru mail servers.
